How did Kim Tae-hee – Song Hye-kyo – Soo-ae became best dressers? (2008/01/17)

Not only stars become best friends to each other. A stylist maintains much closer relationship to a star than their manager and is solely responsible for their management. Therefore they are an inseparable assistance and a strong supporter and a best friend.

If a certain star made a sudden escape from disgraceful "worst dress" to honourable "Best dresser" category, there must be a well-matched stylist behind them.

Actor Lee Young-ae often says that she shared "10-years-old friendship" with Ma Yong-hee, her stylist. Hereupon once can see a relationship between a star and their stylist is beyond what is shared between colleagues.

A program called "Trend Report, Feel – Season II" (directed by PD Lee Sun-young/ 11pm on Tuesday) from Mnet, investigated the inseparable relationship between a star and their stylist and analysed their fashion sense and changes in styles.

The latest fashion star, Kim Tae-hee, who had been wearing tube-top mini-dresses in recent film festivals, was helped by a top stylist, Han Hye-yoen, who had been responsible for fashion styles of many top stars including Kim Jeong-eun and Rain. Thanks to her, Kim Tae-hee received praises that "Her new style had maximised Kim Tae-hee's attractiveness" and was chosen as the "best dresser" and became a new "fashionist star".

Stylist Choi Hye-ryeon , who is known as Daniel Henney's stylist succeeded in achieving an ideal proportion for Song Hye-kyo to minimise her weakness of short height, when she became her stylist. Previously Song Hye-kyo maintained old styles that acted against her young age. Stylist Choi is now emphasising a chic look in her by dressing her in mini-look using dress as well as shirts. Eventually she succeeded in putting Song Hye-kyo's name on the best dresser list.

Soo-ae, whose nickname is "Dre-Soo-ae" for being chosen as a best dresser every time she appears in official events, is getting a helping hand from Stylist Jung Yoon-ki. He is known as "Soo-ae's red carpet exclusive stylist" as well as "Korea's first male stylist ever". He is talented in maximising Soo-ae's gracefulness and elegance. Thus he is an inseparable assistance for Soo-ae. Stylist Jung Yoon-ki was also responsible for Ko Hyeon-jeong's dress who made a comeback in 10 years with the drama "Spring Days"; and the style of Kim Hye-soo, who is the star of the Blue Dragon film festival. In particular, he often works with many female stars who are largely popular with male audiences.
